Alternative Education License Program
This coursework is for Tier II licensed teachers who want to add-on WI licensure #1952 Alternative Education. As more and more students are identified as at-risk, it is essential that teachers, and other professionals receive this training. A major focus of the alternative education program is to assist concerned professionals who work with children and youth who may be at risk of school failure in learning ways to collaboratively build programs and strategies to better serve at-risk students in the school and the community. The alternative education program includes working with children and youth in grades 4-12.
Since this is an add-on supplementary teaching license, DPI licensed teachers must have a current, valid Tier II teaching license as a minimum to enroll and will need to complete the clinical experience requirement. This license enables the individual to teach in an alternative education program in the license area of the underlying teaching license.
